A Stronger Faith

I need

O Lord

a strong­er faith

In this poor heart of mine

A faith to take Thee at Thy word

And all for Thee re­sign.

Grant me

O Lord

a liv­ing faith

That I may fol­low Thee

Thro’ joy or sor­row

doubt or fear

Until Thy face I see.

A faith that to Thy pro­mise clings

When clouds above me roll

A faith that sweet­ly works by love

And pu­ri­fies the soul.

A faith that soars be­yond the sky

And looks with­in the veil

A faith that

till my lat­est hour

Shall nev­er

nev­er fail.

A pa­tient

firm

en­dur­ing faith

The Christ­ian race to run

A faith to teach me how to say

My Lord

Thy will be done.
